How to Bring Your Hairline Forward

Receding hairlines can be an issue for middle-age men.

Bringing a receding hairline forward is a tough task that cannot be accomplished through the use of special shampoos or creams. To reverse a receding hairline you must find a hairline advancement procedure that is right for you, then find a professional who can perform it. There are few procedures that bring hairlines forward. The procedures that are offered vary greatly from one another in how they are performed and in cost.

Instructions

1. Research the types of hairline advancement procedures available. A hair transplant, hairline advancement surgery and the Micro Hair Technique are three procedures that move hairlines forward. A hair transplant involves removing a small section of hair from the back of the head and grafting it onto the front to create a new hairline. Hairline advancement surgery surgically shortens your forehead while moving your existing hairline farther forward.

2. Decide whether or not you want to have surgery. If you do not want to have surgery then you will want to undergo the Micro Hair Technique. The Micro Hair Technique involves pricking the forehead with needles filled with pigment colored to match your skin and hair. The inked skin gives the appearance of a fuller hairline but does not actually regrow hair.

3. Find a reputable hair restoration clinic or plastic surgeon in your area. Read patient testimonials, look up certifications and credentials and read online ratings to see which surgeons and clinics in your area are the best.

4. Schedule a consultation with your chosen clinic or surgeon.

5. Prepare a list of questions to ask during your consultation. Ask questions about the procedures length, cost and if it is possibly covered under medical insurance. Ask to see before and after photographs of patients who have undergone the procedure to see if you are happy with the results.

6. Schedule an appointment to get your hairline moved forward if you feel good about the procedure after your consultation. Depending on the procedure you may have to take a few days off from work to rest and recuperate.
